Boat: 1999 SeaSwirl Striper
Motor: 1999 Johnson Oceanpro 130hp
Ok. here's the scoop. I took my boat out today and went for a short trip of about 2 hours, mostly slow/idle speeds. However, there were a couple parts where I went full speed and encountered trawler wake that I slowed down for. One in particular I didn't slow down enough and my hull banged over the wake pretty hard. After I got home and got the boat on the lift I went to flush the motor with rabbit ears. But when I turned the key....nothing! The gauges all turn on and the battery voltage gauge shows full charge. My fish finder turns on. Everything seems to work except the ignition. I pulled the cowling off the motor and checked to be sure there were no disconnected wires but then I'm not certain which wires relate to the ignition. The cables to the starter and solenoid are good. I also checked the fuses and the terminal block.
Any suggestions on what else to check? I'm Googling stuff and reading other online resources but I always get excellent help here at iboats.com.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
